Subject: Mary Humphreys and Anahata CD release
In case this thread failed to catch your attention, we have just released our new CD Sharp Practice. Subtitled "Rarities and Renovations" it's a collection of English traditional tunes and songs, four of the latter from Cecil Sharps collections, hence the title. Mary has done her usual research, putting words from one source to a good tune from another when necessary, and finding some amazing songs that others don't sing, possibly because they'd not been recorded by anyone else yet.
If that sounds a bit academic - the album is not like that. We had a lot of fun making it, and I 'm sure some of that comes out in the music.
Apart from being a sort of refresh for the other thread, this is also an announcement that there are now short (15-30 seconds) clips of many tracks. Follow the clicky above...
Unlike our first album "Through The Groves", two tracks of which are on the MudCat CD's, this a pressed CD on a proper label - Wild Goose WGS312CD.
PM or email me to get a copy, £13 postage free. Sorry we can't handle foreign money or credit cards. Outside the UK you'll be able be get a copy soon somehow - Camsco have other Wild Goose albums, and the Wild Goose website has some international distribution contacts but I think there are more than what's shown there.
Latest news: We sold 9 at the Sutton folk club last night, as well as three copies of "Through the Groves" - a good start!
